My Project

I love seeing my students get inspired about reading, however, many of my students in previous years have never actually read an entire book.

My goal is to be able to provide a book that will engage and challenge my students; I want to give them many opportunities to have hands on experiences while learning the skills necessary to be successful.

My colleague and I have prepared many projects and activities to help reinforce learned skills. The art supplies will be used by students to demonstrate their proficiency and creativity.
